Stran 366 - In the Spring a fuller crimson comes upon the Robin's breast ; In the Spring the wanton lapwing gets himself another crest ; In the Spring a livelier iris changes on the burnished dove ; In the Spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.
Stran 296 - GRACE. SOME hae meat, and canna eat, And some wad eat that want it ; But we hae meat and we can eat, And sae the Lord be thanket. ELEGY ON THE DEATH OF PEG NICHOLSON. PEG Nicholson was a gude bay mare, As ever trode on airn ; But now she's floating down the Nith, An' past the mouth o
Stran 2 - And what is its reward ? At best, a name ! Praise — when the ear has grown too dull to hear ; Gold — when the senses it should please are dead ; Wreaths — when the hair they cover has grown gray ; Fame — when the heart it should have thrilled is numb. All things but love — when love is all we want, And close behind comes death, and ere we know That even these unavailing gifts are ours, He sends us, stripped and naked, to the grave ! 40.

Stran 307 - According to that report, there were 389,* or say, in round numbers, 400 institutions, calling themselves colleges or universities, in our country ! We may well exclaim that ours is a great country, having more than the whole world beside. The fact is sufficient. The whole earth would hardly support such a number of first-class institutions. The curse of mediocrity must be upon them, to swarm in such numbers.
Stran 1 - The applause of listening senates to command, The threats of pain and ruin to despise, To scatter plenty o'er a smiling land, And read their...
Stran 308 - The whole earth could hardly support such a number of first-class institutions. The curse of mediocrity must be upon them, to swarm in such numbers. They must be a cloud of mosquitoes, instead of eagles as they profess ; and this becomes evident on further analysis. About one-third aspire to the name of university ; and I note one called by that name which has two professors and eighteen students, and another having three teachers and twelve students ! These instances are not unique, for the number...
